    Hi Ladies

    Liz - I buy my OPK's from Lullaby Conceptions on the net. They are sooooo much cheaper thatn stor bought. And I've never had a problem with them. Maybe give them a whirl? Much better on the hip pocket.


    Bec hows the concoctions going? Gosh the stuff we do? I'm on a bunch of supplements the IVF Dr recommended so is DH.

    AFM I've got spotting! Yay Af is around the corner. I'm soo excited!

    Yah, Porsche! Who's have thought we'd be so excited that AF was arriving. Hope the next cycle is a goody for you!!!!

    AFM: I'm alittle confused...sorry for TMI but how long would you expect to get EWCM for? I was sure on Sunday/Moday that I had ovulated becasue I had all the symptoms I usually get: heaps of EWCM (ewww...sorry!), crampy pains etc, but I've still got some CM and it's Thursday! I've never had this 'symptom' for so long IYKWIM. I'm very confused! I'm assuming o was Monday, but who knows? Gosh this TTC is hard work! Might book in for BT on Tuesday (should be 8DPO, I think) to see what's going on.

    Anyway now I've grossed everyone out, I'm off to watch Glee...
    Bye

    Hi Bec

    Are you sure you o'd Monday? Maybe you O'd a little later? I think the BT could be a good idea. I usually have EWCM 2 or 4 days leading up and then nothing.

    Hi all! Just jumping in here-
    Bec- I can get ewcm for a couple of days after o sometimes. I usually use temp to confirm. But it is possible to have lingering fertile cm.

    Liz- definitely ask about the bt. My fs won't prescribe clomid without monitoring with bt as he says success rates if you just go away and take it on your own are not great compared to taking it with bt and monitoring. I think it is a good idea when you first start the clomid anyway so you know what's what. I started my first pill last night and go back next fri for my first blood test- 3-4days after I finish the pills.

    Afm - I guess I should say hi. Just found this clomid forum so thought I would pop in. I have just started my first round of clomid yesterday and today I have noticed I am Very cranky!! Lol although that could be result of a late night... It's kind of exciting to start the clomid and think I will likely be pg in 3-6 months but also a bit scary because of the 'what if it doesn't work' factor.
    fingers crossed for everyone!!!

    Hi Hannahfroodoo

    Welcome. LOL about being cranky. I'm sooo cranky on clomid I'm a total nightmare. I hope your stay is very short and sweet. I'll be satring my 8th clomid cycle just as soon as Af shows her head.

    Good Luck!

    Hi Hannahfroodoo! GL with the first round of clomid, hopefully the side effects don't casue you too much hassle. Take it at night, it really helps with the hot flushes!

    Thanks for the info on EWCM Porsche & Hannahfroodoo. Porsche- I'm not sure I o'd, cause the damn stuff hasn't gone yet. On clomid I always had 3 days max of EWCM, so it was easy to narrow it down, but I'm realy not sure. Guess we'll just keep b'ding and hope for the best!

    Where is everyone? It's been very quiet in here...
